They finally remove the leagues when HOTS is already in beta. 2 years too late lol.

Also, ladder locks are the biggest buzz kill. Let's remove those too.

Lack of ladder map changes is unbelievably disheartening. Dozens of tourney quality maps available....and they take out rocks on TDA. What an utter joke.

That's actually super good :D

I don't really have any trouble killing them, but it's so annoying to do so.

This makes it harder for casuals, but still is a good change.

Damn they should have done this like 5 months ago when I still played this game. I was consistently top 3 in diamond but couldn't get in Master so I quit for Diablo 3. Shit.

Sounds like you want to make an... alteration to the map pool?

No. Lack of a proper choke at natural prevents queens walloff from being effective. And the easy tank ledge still exists.

Added an explanation to the OP since it seems people aren't really sure what this is going to mean. It's sort of sad that a significant amount of research is basically going to waste, but this is for the best. One effect of this change is that promotions will probably come more quickly because it's not going to hold your promotion in the event that you're bouncing between Tier 1 and Tier 2, there is only one tier now so promotions should come about as quickly as they do going from (high-tier) Diamond into Master.

Good change, Blizzard. Now if you could only remove Tal'Darim Altar and Condemned Ridge, because no one seems to play these maps.

This sounds very shady to me. There is really no way they can accomplish what they wrote in the blog.

The only way that would work is to switch players between divisions, while the season lasts, which makes the purpose of division pretty much obsolete (competing vs only 99 others who you'd recognize by their names).

Another option would be that the initial seeding in the divisions happens according to the rank everyone is internally right then. So each division gets one player out of top1%, top1-2%, top 2-3%, etc. But these rankings could easily switch over the season and could end up in more than 1 player being in the top 1% overall ranking. Thus these guys would have to switch divisions again, while the season is lasting.

I am really curious how blizzard is going to fix this.

Why would they need to switch players between divisions if all divisions are equal? Rank 50 in one division is the same as rank 50 in another division of the same league, and vice versa.

I agree with this change. Will make it easier to figure out where your skill level is at.

Making things more simple and clear in terms of rankings is an overall good change.
